Gimme Some Cake! : wedding cake decor houston Mwd1048 mwd1048

I love this cake as seen in Martha Stewart Weddings. In fact, I’ve decided to use it for our wedding! And that topper is so crazy cute, instead of the flower offering, I plan to create a silhouette of me twirling with the boy. Won’t that be adorable? And I already have the wire, I can use some pearls and beads from my DIY combs instead of the little flowers, and find an old lid to cover for the base. Boom, done!

As for the cake, my mom and I have a master plan.

We’re going to buy an already frosted cake from a grocery store (most likely HEB or Kroger). Then utilizing the pimpness that is Cricut Cake, we’ll add the decorations for a simple, easy, and best of all CHEAP cake! And I’m positive it’ll look as good as the pros. We can even skip the Cricut and just make the stripe and stars. Then we can add the paper ribbon instead of having it fondant. There are so many options for such a fabulous cake done on the cheap. My FMIL already has a cake in store for Mr. SD as well. Wanna see it?

Guys, this is no joke. It’s 100% the cake she ordered as the Groom’s Cake. Aaaaaaaaaand….. I’ve decided to just let go on this one. Mr. SD loves fishing, he likes the cake, and well, she already went ahead and ordered it without talking to me first. My friend cracked I should have a Billy Bass next to it to complete the ambiance. I’ve fought so many other battles with her (balloon arch, tulle, lattice backing covered in fall leaves…) that I had to give up somewhere. And, at least it’s good craftsmanship, right?

Any advice on how to chic-ify this situation?

I love your inspiration cake, so cute! Can’t wait to see your take on it. As for the groom’s cake, well as long as Mr. SD likes it

were the things you fought with her on things that YOU wanted or that SHE wanted
Ive had so many battles with FMIL as well - she LOVES tulle and went and bought a crap ton of it when I HATE tulle and wants to put it everywhere I’m like NOO

That cake (the wedding one not the grooms one) is so adorable though! You are so crafty!!

Oh geez, dead fish on the groom’s cake? I’m not sure there’s much you can do with that….except maybe just laugh it off!

“give me back that fillet-0-fish, give me that fish. Ooooh!”

Sorry couldn’t resist!

The wedding cake is super cute! And while the GC might not be your ideal, if it fits your mister, that’s what it’s all about, right? I’m sure it’ll be great!

The groom’s cake is pretty funny, at least… even if it’s not your style. As long as he likes it!

My son loves fishing too and would die for that cake! Why don’t you serve it at the rehearsal dinner if you don’t feel it’s appropriate for the wedding?

Strange - this cake is also online in blue! It would match the groom’s cake beautifully

I don’t think groom’s cake’s are supposed to be chic, I think they’re supposed to be funny, which yours definitely is!

O M G, you’re brilliant! I never thought of picking up a pre-frosted cake… saves so much time & $$$. I cannot wait to see your cake - ahhh and we have to wait till September! hehe

This is too funny! I want to hear about the other battles, they sound like fun ones too. I think the fish cake is fine how it is, nothing it going to make it chic, so might as well embrace the cheese.

That grooms cake is kind of hilarious. I love your inspiration for the actual cake - my sister has a Cricut Cake, and it’s SOO cool!

I kinda like that fish cake! The quote on it is very fitting for the wedding too, as you are his catch of his lifetime!! Maybe it’s not your style but it sure seems to fit him as he loves fishing, and it’ll make your FMIL as well so I’d say go for it.
